Staff report

Tracy's position with the club had been considered tenuous after the team finished in last place in the NL West with a 64-98 record this season. It was the worst record in franchise history and the second consecutive season the Rockies finished below .500.

Tracy met with Rockies director of major league operations Bill Geivett and other officials on Friday and Saturday to discuss his future with the organization.

"Jim Tracy is a man that has brought professionalism to the Rockies organization since 2009," Geivett said in a statement. "However, Jim has decided that he no longer wants to move forward as manager. We respect Jim's decision, and we wish Jim and his family the best of luck as we begin our search for the right person to become the next manager of our organization."

Tracy, who took over as manager in late May of the 2009 season, was 294-308 in three-plus seasons as Colorado’s skipper.
